Leicester City manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy has come out to say that Erling Haaland is the best of the best when it comes to strikers. He recently had his say amid questions over his form this season, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Haaland scored his 30th goal of the season days ago, and he has proven time and time again that he is the best striker in the EPL.
Ruud added that Erling is a pillar in City’s current team and in their future at the same time.
His words, “How many goals did he score so far this season? Yesterday he scored his 30th. Come on. This is what I mean? 30 goals – he’s the best striker in the league. He’s proven it. He’s won everything possible. He’s a class act. He’s the best of the best. He has an A mindset, A quality and will continue with that for many more years.
He has signed an extremely long contract and is one City is building around. When you have a guy like that in the building and you’re keeping him, you have a guarantee for 30 goals and apparently it’s a bad season. Imagine when he starts to play well – he’ll score 60 or 70! He’s a pillar in City’s current team and in their future, so nothing but praise for him from my side.”
WOW.
